Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and really enjoy reading all of the posts of everyone sharing their experience.
I am trying to locate some touch up paint for the outboard motor that I am repairing. The outboard is a 1979 70HP Evenrude (70973R). I am replacing the swivel bracket on the motor because of a backing mishap. The new bracket that I just received in the mail is a good replacement minus the color. It is cast aluminum and the color is kind of a green color. My 70 HP is factory painted silver. This color is not as common as the colors that are listed for that year. I would like to match the new bracket to this silver however I am not finding anyone who sells it.
I have found all of the more common colors for that year just not the silver. From the research that I have done so far the silver was used on motors from 1974 - 82. I located the original Evenrude paint code numbers and information which I listed below.
ES # 1612
Paint -Silver
Spray 172793
One Quart Can 279786
I am in the process of trying to get everything put together so once I start my project I wont be waiting on parts that need to be special ordered.
Thank you in advance for the help.
